EnergyCell 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station review

EnergyCell 3 in 1 Wireless Charging 6

REVIEW – Migrating from my dated iPhone 8 to a bright and shining new iPhone 16 Pro left me in need of one of those all-in-one charging solutions for phone, watch and headphones.  My previous all-in-one charging solution was the iLive 3-in-1 Charging Stand which does not support MagSafe charging so I was pleasantly surprised […]

Ticwatch Atlas smartwatch review – another solid watch from Ticwatch

ticwatch atlas 11

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few watches from Ticwatch here at the Gadgeteer over the years, and they tend to be consistently good smartwatches with better than average battery runtimes. The latest model that Ticwatch has sent my way is the Ticwatch Atlas, a full-featured Google Wear smartwatch that looks like it might give

aqara smart lock U300 review – a Matter-enabled reliable smart lock

aqara smartlock u300 15

REVIEW – I’ve tried a handful of smart locks in various locations in our house over the years, with mostly disappointing results. Poor battery life, abysmal fingerprint reading, and internet connectivity issues have all marred previous attempts. When the review offer came in for the aqara smart lock U300, I was eager to try it

SwitchBot Auto-Fill Evaporative Humidifier review – Just in time for heating season!

SwitchBot Auto Fill Humidifier 25

                              REVIEW – I live in an area that entices closed windows and heating from late September or early October until April or May, resulting in dry skin, itchy eyes, and the oh-so-familiar chill in the air. A humidifier like SwitchBot’s Auto-Fill is just what the doctor ordered to make it feel warmer and help

Roxon Phantom multi-tool review – A quality EDC multi-tool at a great price!

Roxon Phantom Multitool 15

REVIEW – I love multitools. The utility and portability make them a great EDC item. Over the years I’ve owned a number of different Leatherman multitools as well as a generic knockoff or two. The Roxon Phantom multitool came up for review and brings some interesting features to the mix, so let’s see how it

Edifier NeoDots True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation review – a standout among under-150-dollar range

Edifier NeoDots 19

REVIEW – Even though I enjoy reviewing various products, my heart has always warmed when it comes to audio. I can’t quite pinpoint the reason behind this but let me tell you, I’m not musical. I can’t read music, or play an instrument, and if I dare to sing in the house, my wife (who

Speras EST Plus tactical flashlight review

speras estplus 1

REVIEW – Tactical flashlights are known for being brighter and more durable than regular flashlights.  Though often used by law enforcement and military personnel, they are also great choices for the rest of us.  Whether I am looking for a lost dog, dealing with a power outage, or investigating unexpected noises in the back yard,

leander valet tray 9

REVIEW – Where does your EDC live when it’s not being carried in your pockets or bag? In a pile on top of your dresser, kitchen counter, kitchen table? Hey, I’m not judging. But I do have a suggestion. How about a dedicated tray like the gorgeous Leander valet tray. Let’s take a closer look.

Hoto 22

REVIEW – I am setting myself up for some funny memes with the picture above!  I hate cleaning inside the house, but it is a necessary evil.  I would much rather be doing yardwork outside.  So when a new tool comes along to make that inside cleaning chore easier, I am always willing to check

Veeniix V11Pro drone review – Take off and see what’s out there!

Veenix V11Pro 10

REVIEW – One of the most fascinating and at times controversial product categories right now are drones. We have the capability of taking videography and exploring the world in ways that were almost impossible when I was a kid. We’ve had a few inexpensive drones over the past few years, but they were primarily toys
